First, Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley said the Chicago Bears were better off without Brian Urlacher. Then Bears linebacker Lance Briggs called Finley “a idiot’’ for saying that.

Now Urlacher has chimed in, saying the Packers haven’t exactly missed Finley when he has been out with injuries.

“Just like a couple of years ago, I think, he tore his ACL, and the Packers were actually better without him,” Urlacher said on SiriusXM, NFL Radio on Thursday, via the Chicago Sun-Times. “You know, they won the Super Bowl. I hope we can duplicate that as well because it won’t hurt my feelings if we go and win the Super Bowl without me, like they did without him.”

Ouch. The more these guys talk, the more regrettable it is that Urlacher’s hamstring injury will prevent him from lining up against the Packers on Sunday.
